Loading Paper
2-10 OPERATION GUIDE
Envelopes
Up to 5 envelopes can be loaded at a
time. Envelopes should be fed in the
face-up position, right edge first.
Since the composition of an envelope is
more complex than that of ordinary
paper, it is not always possible to ensure
consistent printing quality over the entire
envelope surface.
Normally, envelopes have a diagonal
grain direction. Refer to Paper Grain on page 2-6. This direction can easily
cause wrinkles and creases when envelopes pass through the printer.
Before purchasing envelopes, make a test print to check whether the
printer accepts the envelope.
• Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhesive.
• Avoid a long printing session for envelopes only. Extended envelope
printing can cause premature printer wear.
• If jams occur, try setting less envelopes on the MP tray.
• To avoid jams caused by curled envelopes, stack no more than 10
printed envelopes on the output tray.
Thick Paper
Fan the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them in the MP
tray. Some types of paper have rough edges on the back (those are
created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the paper on a flat place
and rub the edges once or twice with, for example, a ruler to smooth them.
Feeding rough edged paper may cause paper jams.
NOTE: If the paper jams even
after you smooth it out, load the
paper in the MP Tray with the
leading edge raised up a few
millimeters as shown in the
illustration.
Colored Paper
Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper.
Refer to Paper Specifications on page 2-2. In addition, the pigments used
in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing
process (up to 200°C or 392°F).
